I see a lot of good reviews on this place but sadly i did not get that same service. I came here for my dad’s show and to watch them play. Me and my girlfriend come inside and there is a white guy wth long brown hair who asked for our IDs it caught me off guard bc this isn’t a club and I’ve been to over 20-30 bars in Raleigh Zebulon Clayton Wilson knightdale all over and never gotten id’d. But this isn’t the issue. I explained I was here for my dad I have some music equipment let me call him so he can come get it. They guy says “well doesn’t that suck you should’ve thought abt that before hand like who doesn’t bring there id to a bar” I said I’ve never been id’d to go my dads show and they play at bars all the time calm down you work at a bar dude it’s not that serious. Then he explains that it’s also 12$ to get in allowing us entry without IDs then a Girl comes over and says uhm no they dont have ids. So this guy id’d me complained like a toddler bc I didn’t have an id then proceeded to let me in still. If anything this guy should be fired. I’m sure yall are a great establishment but I don’t mind being told I can’t com in I would’ve left no problem after giving my dad his music equitment I hop I can see a better bouncer for yalls bar instead of a white dude who thinks he’s better then everyone else. He also told my dad to punch him in the face which is kinda weird

Nice atmosphere. Pool table and pinball upstairs. Cool little dive spot to catch an open mic on a Tuesday night...just don't try to be fun with the female bartender...she is not.

I love Malort; I search it out in every city I travel to. This place has A LOT OF IT, and I love that. I was very happy that Slim’s serves Malort.

Really, really cool place! Exactly the kind of bar I rock with. Dude working the counter was chill, drinks were excellently priced. I'll for sure be coming back a lot.

You can walk in on some nights and hear a banger going on, you can walk to their outside location through the bar and have a chill scenery featuring the parking lot next door. Decent place

Amazing service, great music, and an incredible patio in a cool location! A local band was playing, adding to the fun vibe. The staff even helped me find a great pizza spot nearby—so glad I came back!

The AC works. Patio like prison yard. Outstanding.
This place will never change and that's why we love it.

Slim's is Raleigh,NC's oldest neighborhood dive bar and live music venue. They feature a great atmosphere where visitors and locals gather to check out up and coming bands and hang out with their friends and families. Several pinball machines and a pool table for people to play games.

Excellent dive bar. Service is good. Prices are reasonable. Atmosphere is exactly what you would expect from a dive bar.
